Abstract
Photocatalytic peroxymonosulfate (PMS) oxidation systems demonstrate significant potential and promising prospects through the interconnection of photocatalytic and PMS oxidation for simultaneously achieving efficient pollutant removal and reduction of PMS dosage, which prevents resource wastage and secondary pollution. In this study, a Z-scheme Bi25FeO40/BiOCl (BOFC) heterojunction was constructed to carry out the photocatalytic PMS oxidation process for tetracyclines (TCs) pollutants at low PMS concentrations (0.08 mM). The photocatalytic PMS oxidation rate of Bi25FeO40/BiOCl composites for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), chlortetracycline (CTC), oxytetracycline (OTC) and doxycycline (DXC) reaches 86.6%, 83.6%, 86.7%, and 88.0% within 120 min. Simultaneously, the BOFC/PMS system under visible light (Vis) equally displayed the practical application prospects for the solo and mixed simulated TCs antibiotics wastewater. Based on the electron spin resonance (ESR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) valence band spectrum, a Z-scheme electron migration pathway was proposed to elucidate the mechanism underlying the performance enhancement of BOFC composites. Bi25FeO40 in BOFC composites can serve as active site for activating PMS by the formation of Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle. Toxicity estimation software tool (T.E.S.T.) and mung beans planting experiment demonstrates that BOFC/PMS/Vis system can reduce toxicity of TCs wastewater. Therefore, BOFC/PMS/Vis system achieves efficient examination in different water environments and efficient utilization of PMS, which displays a scientific reference for achieving environmentally-friendly and resource-saving handling processes.

Abstract
The toxicological effect between co-existed antibiotics and metal ions was dangerous to the ecological environment and public health. However, the rapid quantification tools with convenience, accuracy and low cost for the detection of multiple targets were still challenging. Herein, a portable tri-color ratiometric fluorescence paper sensor was constructed by coupling of blue carbon dots and fluorescence imprinted polymer for down/up conversion simultaneous detection of tetracycline and sulfamethazine. Interestingly, the cascade detection of aluminum ion was also realized based on the individual detection system of tetracycline without the assistance of complex coupling reagents. The detection limits of smartphone method for the visual detection of tetracycline, sulfamethazine and aluminum ion were calculated as 0.014 μM, 0.004 μM and 0.019 μM, respectively. The portable fluorescence paper sensor was applied for the visual detection of tetracycline, sulfamethazine and aluminum ion in actual samples successfully with satisfactory recoveries. With the advantages of rapidness, low cost, and portability, the developed portable fluorescence paper sensor provided a new strategy for the visual real-time detection of multiple targets.

Abstract
In this work, a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-signal mode sensor is proposed for the sensitive, selective and accurate detection and removal of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs). A triple-metal MOF of NiCoFe is successfully synthesized and controllable adjusted the shape of the hollow structure for the first time, and then modified with TCs aptamer. The as-prepared triple-atom MOF (apt-NiCoFe-MOF-74) exhibits well-defined hollow morphology, high crystallinity, and high surface areas endow their alluring adsorption and removal performances for TCs. More attractively, this triple-metal MOF show a good peroxidase-like activity and strong fluorescence property at 540 nm of apt-NiCoFe-MOF-74 when excitation wavelength was 370 nm. Inspire by this, a dual-signal output biosensor is constructed and the linear absorbance response is well correlated with wide range and low LOD for TCs. The biosensor provided an universal method with satisfactory sensitivity and accuracy for TCs analysis in real food samples.

Abstract
Reasonably designing highly active, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective catalysts for efficient elimination of pollutants from water is desirable but challenging. Herein, an efficient heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst tourmaline (TM)/tungsten oxide (WO3-x) (named TW10) containing tungsten/boron/iron (W/B/Fe) synergistic active centers and 90% of cheap natural tourmaline (TM) mineral rich in Fe and B elements. The TW10 catalyst can quickly activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate massive active free radicals, which may induce the rapid and efficient degradation of tetracycline (TC). The TW10/PMS/Visible light system can effectively degrade up to 98.7% of tetracycline (TC) in actual waters (i.e. seawater, Yellow River, and Yangtze River water), and the catalytic degradation rates reach 1.65, 5.569, and 2.38 times higher than those of TM, WO3-x, and commercial P25 (Degussa, Germany), respectively. In addition, the catalyst can be recycled and reused multiple times. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (EPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) analyses confirm that the synergistic catalytic effect of W/B/Fe sites on the TW10 catalyst accelerates the electron transfer between Fe(II) and Fe(III), as well as between W(V) and W(VI), and thus promotes the rapid degradation of TC. The catalytic reaction mechanism and degradation pathway of TC were explored. This work provides a feasible route for the design and development of new eco-friendly and efficient catalyst.

Abstract
Fe-Co@CNF was synthesized by electrospinning technology, and AuNPs was loaded onto Fe-Co@CNF by in-situ reduction to obtain Fe-Co@CNF@AuNPs composite material, which was used as the working electrode based on Au-S bond cooperation. The tetracycline electrochemical sensing interface Fe-Co@CNF@AuNPs@Apt was constructed by connecting mercaptoylated tetracycline (TC) aptamers on Fe-Co@CNF@AuNPs surface. The morphology and composition of Fe-Co@CNF@AuNPs composites were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD and XPS, and the electrochemical properties of tetracycline were evaluated by CV and DPV. The results showed that the addition of Fe and Co did not destroy the structure of the original carbon nanofibers, and their synergistic effect enhanced the electrocatalytic performance, effective electrode area and electron transfer ability of carbon nanofibers. AuNPs are evenly distributed over the fibers, which effectively improves the electrical conductivity of the material. Under the optimal conditions, the theoretical detection limit of tetracycline was 0.213 nM, and the linear detection range was 5.12-10 mM, which could successfully detect tetracycline in milk.

Abstract
Tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), a prevalent antibiotic in aquaculture for treating bacterial infections, poses challenges for on-site detection. This study employed the reversed-phase microemulsion method to synthesize a uniform nano metal-organic framework (MOF) material, europium-benzene-p-dicarboxylic acid (Eu-BDC), doped with Tb3+ to form a dual-emission fluorescence probe. By leveraging the combined a-photoinduced electron-transfer (a-PET) and inner filter effect (IFE) mechanisms, high-sensitivity TCH detection in Carassius auratus and Ruditapes philippinarum was achieved. The detection range for TCH is 0.380-75 μM, with a low limit of detection (LOD) at 0.115 μM. Upon TCH binding, Eu-BDC fluorescence rapidly decreased, while Tb3+ fluorescence remained constant, establishing a ratiometric fluorescence change. Investigation into the TCH quenching mechanism on Eu-BDC was conducted using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations and fluorescence quenching kinetic equations, suggesting a mixed quenching mechanism. Furthermore, a novel photoelectric conversion fluorescence detection device (FL-2) was developed and evaluated in conjunction with high-performance liquid chromatography-diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD). This is the first dedicated fluorescence device for TCH detection, showcasing superior photoelectric conversion performance and stability that reduces experimental errors associated with smartphone photography methods, presenting a promising avenue for on-site rapid TCH detection.

Abstract
The development of facile and effective approaches to regulate the stability and reusability of metallic Co catalytic materials towards peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for remediating antibiotic pollutants remains challenging. In this study, we develop a one-step pyrolysis strategy to fabricate three-dimensional porous architecture assembled with N,S,O-codoped carbon nanotube-interwoven hierarchically porous carbon nanosheets encapsulated Co nanoparticles (Co@NSOC), which serve as chainmail catalysts for stable and reusable degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) through PMS activation. The optimal Co@NSOC-700-activated PMS system presents an excellent removal efficiency of 94.1 % for TCH within 10 min and a high cycling efficiency of 92.9 % after eight cycles. The encapsulated structure, abundant catalytic sites, superior hydrophilicity and strong magnetism contribute to the high performance. Further investigation demonstrates that both radical and nonradical pathways contribute to the TCH destruction, and 1O2 is verified as the dominant reactive substance. The possible degradation pathways and the toxicity of intermediates for TCH are evaluated. This work offers an innovative structure design and surface modulation strategy to fabricate robust catalysts towards environmental remediation.

Abstract
To promptly and simply create highly crystalline S/C co-doped TiO2 (SC-TiO2) photocatalysts at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, we suggest a novel plasma-assisted sol-gel synthesis method. This method is a simultaneous synthetic process, in which an underwater plasma undergoes continuous reactions to generate high-energy atomic and molecular species that enable TiO2 to achieve crystallinity, a large surface area, and a heterogeneous structure within a few minutes. In particular, it was demonstrated that the heterogeneously structured TiO2 was formed by doping that sulfur and carbon replace O or Ti atoms in the TiO2 lattice depending on the composition of the synthesis solution during underwater plasma treatment. The resultant SC-TiO2 photocatalysts had narrowed bandgap energies and extended optical absorption scope into the visible range by inducing the intermediate states within bandgap due to generation of oxygen vacancies on the surface of TiO2 through synthesis, crystallization, and doping. Correspondingly, SC-TiO2 showed a significant degradation efficiency ([k] = 6.91 h-1) of tetracycline (TC, antibiotics) under solar light irradiation, up to approximately 4 times higher compared to commercial TiO2 ([k] = 1.68 h-1), resulting in great water purification. Therefore, we anticipate that this underwater discharge plasma system will prove to be an advantageous technique for producing heterostructural TiO2 photocatalysts with superior photocatalytic efficiency for environmental applications.

Abstract
Iron-doping modification is a prevailing approach for improving adsorption capability of biochar with environmental friendliness, but usually requires high temperature and suffers from iron aggregation. Herein, a highly adsorptive biochar was manufactured via sequential disperse impregnation of iron by refluxing and pyrolysis at low temperature for eliminating tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solution. Iron oxides and hydroxides were impregnated and stably dispersed on the carbon matrix as pyrolyzed at 200 °C, meanwhile abundant oxygen and nitrogen functional groups were generated on surface. The iron-doped biochar exhibited up to 891.37 mg/g adsorption capacity at pH 5, and could be recycled with high adsorption capability. The adsorption of TC should be mostly contributed to the hydrogen bonding of N/O functional groups and the hydrogen bonding/coordination of iron oxides/hydroxides. This would provide a valuable guide for dispersedly doping iron and conserving functional groups on biochar, and a super iron-doped biochar was prepared with superior recyclability.

Abstract
The synergistic effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Mg2+ could significantly enhance the fluorescence intensity of enoxacin (ENO) at λex/λem = 269.2 nm/385.6 nm, ofloxacin (OFL) at λex/λem = 290.8 nm/466.2 nm and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) at λex/λem = 372.6 nm/514.8 nm. Moreover, when the wavelength difference (Δλ) was chosen 135 nm, the synchronous fluorescence spectra of the three antibiotic complexes could be well separated and the interference of the samples matrix were eliminated primely. Therefore, only one synchronous fluorescence scan was needed to simultaneously determine the three antibiotics. Based on these facts, a synchronous fluorescence spectrometry combining fluorescence sensitization for highly sensitive and selective determination of ENO, OFL and TCH residues in wastewater was developed for the first time. The experimental results showed that the concentrations of ENO, OFL and TCH in the range of 0.5-550 ng mL-1, 1-1500 ng mL-1 and 10-5500 ng mL-1 showed a good linear relationship with fluorescence intensity. The limits of detection were 0.0599 ng mL-1, 0.115 ng mL-1 and 0.151 ng mL-1, respectively. The recoveries of the actual sample were 87.50%-99.99 %, 93.00%-98.50 % and 85.70%-98.42 %, respectively. Overall, the novel synchronous fluorescence spectrometry established in the experiment has the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, fast detection speed and high accuracy. It has been successfully applied to the detection of residual amounts of ENO, OFL and TCH in wastewater with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Matrix interference resulting from the nonspecific adsorption of non-target components, particularly proteins (fouling), onto sensor surfaces poses a persistent challenge in electrochemical detection of food hazards. The development of antifouling sensor surfaces presents a viable approach to mitigate nonspecific adsorption. In this study, a novel antifouling electrochemical aptasensor, utilizing a zwitterionic polymer, was developed for the sensitive, accurate, and selective detection of tetracycline (TC) in milk. This sensor employs a poly (dopamine)-poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PDA-PSBMA) antifouling copolymer, which is synthesized through an in-situ initiated copolymerization of dopamine on the sensor's surface. Subsequently, the thiol-containing aptamers were immobilized onto the PDA-PSBMA coating through a Michael addition reaction with the poly(dopamine). The resulting antifouling electrochemical aptasensor exhibited robust antifouling performance in various single protein solutions and diluted milk samples, coupled with sensitive and selective recognition of TC. The sensor demonstrated a broad linear response range of 0.1-1000.0 ng mL-1 and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 68.0 pg mL-1. The antifouling electrochemical aptasensor proved effective in assaying TC in diluted milk, with recoveries ranging from 100.0 % to 104.4 %, eliminating the need for additional pretreatments due to its exceptional resistance to nonspecific adhesion.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to conduct the kinetic assessment of iontophoretic delivery of niosomal tetracycline-HCl formulated in an electroconductive gel. Tween-80 and Span-80 were used to obtain tetracycline-HCl niosomes with an average diameter of 101.9 ± 3.3 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.247 ± 0.004, a zeta potential of - 34.1 mV, and an entrapment efficiency of 70.08 ± 0.16%. Four different gel preparations, two of which contained niosomal tetracycline-HCl, were transdermally delivered using Franz diffusion cells under the trigger effect of iontophoresis, applied at 0.2, 0.5, and 1 mA/cm2 current density. The control group was the passive diffusion results of the preparation made using a tetracycline-HCl-based drug marketed in Turkey. The control group was compared with the groups that contained (a) tetracycline-HCl in an electroconductive gel, (b) the niosomal tetracycline-HCl formulation in water, and (c) the niosomal tetracycline-HCl formulation in the electroconductive gel. The group with the niosomal formulation in the electroconductive gel displayed the highest increase in iontophoretic transdermal delivery relative to the control group, displaying a 2-, 2.1-, and 2.2-fold increase, respectively, by current density. The experimental results of transdermal delivery using the synergistic effect of niosomal formulation in electroconductive gel and the trigger effect of iontophoresis appeared to divert slightly from zero-order kinetics, demonstrating a statistically significant increase in the rate of controlled transdermal drug delivery. Considering that about 20% of the formulation is transdermally delivered in the first half-hour, the iontophoretic transdermal delivery of niosomal tetracycline-HCl can be efficiently used in local iontophoretic therapy.

Abstract
The bio-sensing activity of fluorescence based nanoprobes is one of the most significant aspects to scrutinize the analytical pursuance in modern security and lateral flow assays. Herein, potent transmogrification of waste cigarette tobacco into fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) has been achieved by calcination approach. The waste transformation to CQDs holds diverse benefits, comprising high quantum yield, low toxicity and scale up synthesis. The developed CQDs were able to identify tetracycline with phenomenal selectivity and sensitivity through fluorescence based method. The sensing mechanism was fully explored using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular docking studies. Governing features comprising tetracycline concentration, interfering studies, and real water analysis on the identification of tetracycline were also investigated. Along with, the prepared CQDs act as colorimetric probe, facilitating the detection of tetracycline with the naked eye. The lateral flow device was constructed for the on-site detection of tetracycline in real water samples. To the best of our knowledge, the present work represents a novel approach to designing CQDs and demonstrates their significant potential for application in anticounterfeiting measures and lateral flow devices. This work holds significant prospective as the prepared CQDs was fully utilized to its maximum usage in developing films and fluorescent anti-counterfeiting applications. Concisely, current work opens up distinctive opportunities for rapid on-site, real-time and visualized surveillance of tetracycline using CQDs prepared with a quite simple green approach.

Abstract
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic for human, poultry and livestock that may cause health damage when enriched in humans. Therefore, it is essential to create a rapid tetracycline assay with high sensitivity, specificity and portability. In this study, a miniaturized tetracycline biosensor based on aptamer-modified graphene field-effect transistor (Apt-SGGT) was fabricated and two detection strategies using transfer characteristic curves and real-time channel current were established for different circumstances. The detection limits of the two strategies were 2.073 pM and 100 pM, respectively. The biosensor also demonstrated outstanding stability, anti-interference and specificity ability. Finally, the biosensor was employed to detect the content of tetracycline in Skim Milk with outstanding recovery rate. We believe that the miniaturized Apt-SGGT biosensor with appropriate detection strategies will provide an ideal portable sensing platform for many important analytes in food with superior selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
N/S co-doping has emerged as a prevailing strategy for carbon-based adsorbents to facilitate the antibiotic removal efficiency. Nevertheless, the underlying interplay among N, S, and their adjacent vacancy defects remains overlooked. Herein, we present a novel in situ strategy for fabricating pyridinic-N dominated and S dual-doped porous carbon adsorbent with rich vacancy defects (VNSC). The experimental results revealed that N (acting as the electron donor) and S (acting as the electron acceptor) form an internal electric field (IEF), with a stronger IEF generated between pyridinic-N and S, while their adjacent vacancy defects activate carbon π electrons, thus enhancing the charge transfer of the IEF. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further demonstrated that the rich charge transfer in the IEF facilitated the π-π electron donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction between VNSC and tetracycline (TC) as well as norfloxacin (NOR), and thus is the key to adsorption performance of VNSC. Consequently, VNSC exhibited high adsorption capacities toward TC (573.1 mg g-1) and NOR (517.0 mg g-1), and its potential for environmental applications was demonstrated by interference, environmentally relevant concentrations, fixed-bed column, and regeneration tests. This work discloses the natures of adsorption capacity for N/S dual-doped carbon-based materials for antibiotics.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) antibiotics, extensively utilized in livestock farming and aquaculture, pose significant environmental challenges. Photocatalysis, leveraging renewable sunlight and reusable photocatalysts, offers a promising avenue for mitigating TC pollution. However, identifying robust photocatalysts remains a formidable challenge. This study introduces a novel hollow-flower-ball-like nanoheterojunction composed of a nitrogen-rich covalent organic framework (N-COF) coupled with BiOBr (BOB), a semiconductor with a higher Fermi level. The synthesized N-COF/BOB S-scheme nanoheterojunction features an expanded contact interface, strengthened chemical bonding, and unique band topologies. The N-COF/BOB composites showcased exceptional TC degradation performance, achieving an 81.2% removal of 60 mg/L TC within 2 h, markedly surpassing the individual efficiencies of N-COF and BOB by factors of 3.80 and 5.96, respectively. Furthermore, the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency highlights a superior mineralization capacity in the N-COF/BOB composite compared to the individual components, N-COF and BOB. The toxicity assessment revealed that the degradation intermediates possess diminished environmental toxicity. This enhanced performance is ascribed to the robust S-scheme nanoheterojunction structure, which promotes efficient photoinduced electron transfer from BOB to N-COF. This process also augments the separation of photogenerated charge carriers, resulting in an increased yield of superoxide radicals (∙O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (∙OH). These reactive species significantly contribute to the degradation and mineralization of TC. Consequently, this study introduces a sustainable approach for addressing emerging antibiotic contaminants, employing COF-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Doxycycline post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) has been shown to reduce the incidence of bacterial STIs. However, if there is genetic linkage between resistance to tetracycline and other antimicrobials, then it could also select for resistance to these other antimicrobials. We therefore undertook to evaluate if there is an association between the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of tetracycline and other antimicrobials in 19 clinically important bacterial species. METHODS Mixed-effects linear regression was used to assess if minocycline MICs were associated with the MICs of eight other antimicrobials (ceftriaxone, ampicillin, oxacillin, vancomycin, erythromycin, levofloxacin, amikacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) in 19 bacterial species in the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance (ATLAS) database. RESULTS With the notable exception of vancomycin, where no association was found, strong positive associations were typically found between the MICs of minocycline and each of the eight antimicrobials in each of the species assessed. For example, the minocycline MICs of all the Gram-positive species were positively associated with ampicillin, ceftriaxone, oxacillin and erythromycin MICs (all P-values < 0.001). The only exceptions were ampicillin for Streptococcus pyogenes and ceftriaxone for S. dysgalactiae, where no significant associations were found. Similarly in the Gram-negative species, the minocycline MICs of all the species except Haemophilus influenzae and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia were positively associated with the MICs of ceftriaxone, ampicillin, levofloxacin and amikacin (all P-values < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS There is a theoretical risk that doxycycline PEP could select for resistance not only to tetracyclines but to a range of other antimicrobials in each of the 19 pathobionts assessed.

Abstract
The regular and on-site monitoring of ions in drinking water is essential for safeguarding public health, ensuring high water quality, and preserving the ecological balance of aquatic ecosystems. Thus, developing a portable analytical device for the rapid, cost-effective, and visual on-site detection of multiple environmental pollutants is notably significant. In the present work, a novel ratiometric microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) was designed and developed for the simultaneous detection of Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions in water samples taking advantages from built-in masking zone. The μPAD was functionalized with a greenish-yellow fluorescent Zn-based metal-organic framework@tetracycline (FMOF-5@TC) nanocomposite, and the ratiometric design was based on the change in emission color from greenish yellow (FMOF-5@TC) to blue (FMOF-5). The μPAD consisted of one sample zone linked to two detection zones via two channels: the first channel was for the detection of both ions, while the second was intended for detecting only Cu2+ ions and comprised a built-in masking zone to remove Fe3+ ions prior to reaching the detection zone. The corresponding color changes were recorded with the aid of a smartphone and RGB calculations. The linear ranges were 0.1-80 μM for Cu2+ and 0.2-160 μM for Fe3+, with limits of detection of 0.027 and 0.019 μM, respectively. The simple μPAD design enabled the simultaneous detection of Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions in drinking water samples with excellent accuracy and precision, with spike recoveries of 81.28-96.36% and 83.01-102.33% for Cu2+ and Fe3+, respectively.

Abstract
Developing eco-friendly and efficient technologies for treating antibiotic wastewater is crucial. Traditional methods face challenges in incomplete removal, high costs, and secondary pollution. Heterogeneous peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation assisted by visible light shows promise, but suitable activators remain a huge challenge. Here, we synthesized cost-effective carbon nitride/bismuth bromide oxide (CN/BiOBr) heterojunctions. Such a heterojunction achieved rapid PMS activation, achieving over 90.00% tetracycline (TC) removal only within 1 min (kobs of 2.23 min-1), surpassing previous systems by nearly 1-2 orders of magnitude and even remarkably superior to the popular single-atom catalysts. The system exhibited self-cleaning properties, maintaining activity after 8 cycles and stability across a wide pH range (3.01 to 9.03). Quenching experiments and theoretical calculations elucidated the exclusive •O2- species involvement and removal pathways. Eco-toxicity assessment and total organic carbon results confirmed simultaneous degradation, detoxification, and mineralization. This system also showed excellent resistance to environmental factors, e.g., coexisting anions, varying pH, and water sources, and demonstrated potential in coking and medical wastewater purification. This study presents a novel technique for rapidly decontaminating antibiotic wastewater through visible light-assisted PMS activation and introduces innovative bionic catalytic oxidation combining light and darkness for practical applications.

Abstract
A fascinating problem in the fields of nanoscience and nanobiotechnology has recently emerged, and to tackle this, the production of metal oxide nanoparticles using plant extracts offers numerous benefits over traditional physicochemical methods. In the present investigation, ZnO nanoparticles were fabricated from Bauhinia racemosa Lam. (BR) leaves extract with various transition metal (TM) dopants (Ni, Mn, and Co). Plant leaves extract containing metal nitrate solutions were utilized as a precursor to synthesize the pristine and TM-doped ZnO nanoparticles. Structural, functional, optical, and surface properties of the fabricated samples were studied by using physicochemical and photoelectrochemical measurements. The organic pollutants tetracycline (TC), ampicillin (AMP), and amoxicillin (AMX) were used in the photocatalytic degradation assessment of the fabricated samples. Through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation, the fabricated nanoparticles wurtzite crystal structure was verified. Moreover, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis verified the existence of functional groups in the fabricated nanoparticles. The migration of electrons from the deep donor level and zinc interstitial to the Zn-defect and O-defect is related to the emission peaks seen at 468, 480, 534, and 450 nm in photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Co-ZnO nanoparticles demonstrated potent and excellent photocatalytic degradation performance for TC (91.09%), AMP (87.97%), and AMX (92.42%) antibiotics within 210, 180, and 150 min of visible light irradiation. Co-ZnO nanoparticles also demonstrated strong antimicrobial performance against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Bacillus subtilis. Further investigation of in vitro cytotoxic potential against the A549 cell line (IC50 = 24 ± 0.5 μg/mL) utilizing MTT assay and the free radical scavenging performance of Co-ZnO nanoparticles estimated by DPPH assay utilizing l-ascorbic acid as a reference was also performed. Anti-inflammatory potential is also reviewed by comparing it with the standard drug Diclofenac, and the maximum activity was obtained for Ni-ZnO nanoparticles (IC50 = 72.4 μg/mL).

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) was widely used and frequently detected in various water bodies, where the presence of TC posed a significant threat to the health of aquatic organisms. Furthermore, antibiotics were hardly degraded by biological treatment. Thus, in order to enhance the removal of TC, we proposed the use of a novel ultraviolet/sodium percarbonate (UV/SPC) advanced oxidation process and initiated an in-depth study. The study investigated the influence of oxidant dosage, initial pH, UV intensity, and TC concentration on the removal of TC. The results demonstrated that the UV/SPC system efficiently removed TC, with removal efficiency increasing as the SPC concentration increased. Within the pH range of 3-11, TC degradation exhibited minimal variation, indicating the UV/SPC system's strong adaptability to pH variations. The research on the impact of the water matrix on TC removal revealed that HCO3- had an inhibitory effect on TC degradation, while NO3- promoted TC degradation. Additionally, the presence of free radical species (·OH, ·CO3-, ·O2-) were detected and rate constants for the secondary reactions (k·OH,TC = 6.3 × 109 L mol-1·s-1, k·CO3-,TC = 3.4 × 108 L mol-1·s-1) were calculated, indicating that ·OH exhibited a stronger oxidative performance compared to ·CO3-. This study did not only present a novel strategy via UV/SPC to remove TC but also uncovered the unique role of ·CO3- for contaminant removal.

Abstract
Compared with conventional pyrolysis, microwave pyrolysis has superior heat transfer performance and promotes the decomposition of organic matter. The paper focuses on the harmless treatment and resource utilization of pharmaceutical sludge (PS) by microwave heating and conventional heating methods. The experimental results showed that the conventional pyrolysis gas is dominated by CO2, CO and H2. For microwave pyrolysis gas, the "microwave effect" promoted secondary cracking of volatile fractions and increases the content of CH4, CxHy, H2 and CO through condensation, aromatization, and dehydrogenation. Conventional pyrolysis oils contained the highest percentage of oxygenated compounds. However, high-temperature microwave radiation accelerated the cleavage of polar oxygenated molecular bonds and long-chain hydrocarbons, thereby increasing the aromatics content of pyrolysis oils. The solid residues obtained from microwave pyrolysis is highly graphitized and porous, with a surface area of 146.2 m2/g. Furthermore, the solid residue was rich in pyridine-N and pyrrole-N that could be utilized for adsorption and catalysis. The MA-600 removes up to 99% of tetracycline (TC) in 6 h. It was also found that the adsorption process of TC by the two pyrolysis residues was consistent with the proposed secondary and Freundlich models.

Abstract
Campylobacter fetus is known to cause human disease, particularly in elderly and immunocompromised hosts. There are limited published data for antimicrobial susceptibility patterns with this organism, and no interpretive criteria are available. We reviewed antimicrobial susceptibilities of C. fetus isolates tested at a tertiary care center and reference laboratory over an 11-year period. C. fetus isolates from patients treated at Mayo Clinic and those sent as referrals for identification and susceptibility were included. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using agar dilution for ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, erythromycin, gentamicin, meropenem, and tetracycline. Geographic distribution, culture source, organism minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) distributions, and MIC50 and MIC90 were examined. Excluding duplicates, 105 unique isolates were identified from 110 positive cultures. Blood cultures represented the most common source, followed by body fluids, skin and soft tissue, and central nervous system. Gentamicin and meropenem had favorable MIC50 and MIC90 of 1 µg/mL. Ciprofloxacin demonstrated an MIC50 of 1 µg/mL; however, the MIC90 was >2 µg/mL. Erythromycin demonstrated MIC50 and MIC90 of 2 µg/mL. Tetracycline and doxycycline were tested on a limited number of isolates and showed a wide range of MICs. Gentamicin and meropenem demonstrated favorable MICs in C. fetus isolates. These may represent therapeutic options for consideration in serious C. fetus infections, pending susceptibility results. Ciprofloxacin, which showed variable results, may be more appropriate for use only after susceptibility testing. C. fetus interpretive criteria are needed to aid clinicians in selection of both empiric and definitive therapies. IMPORTANCE Our findings contribute to the scant literature on Campylobacter fetus antimicrobial susceptibility test results. We used a reference test method of agar dilution and provide MICs for a large number of organisms and antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Europium ions (Eu3+) have been utilized as a fluorescence-sensing probe for a variety of analytes, including tetracycline (TC). When Eu3+ is chelated with TC, its fluorescence can be greatly enhanced. Moreover, Eu3+ possesses 6 unpaired electrons in its f orbital, which makes it paramagnetic. Being a hard acid, Eu3+ can chelate with hard bases, such as oxygen-containing functional groups (e.g., phosphates and carboxylates), present on the cell surface of pathogenic bacteria. Due to these properties, in this study, Eu3+ was explored as a magnetic-trapping and sensing probe against pathogenic bacteria present in complex samples. Eu3+ was used as a magnetic probe to trap bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, Bacillus cereus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The addition of TC facilitated the easy detection of magnetic Eu3+-bacterium conjugates through fluorescence spectroscopy, with a detection limit of approximately ∼104 CFU mL-1. Additionally, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry was employed to differentiate bacteria tapped by our magnetic probes.

Abstract
In this work, a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode probe controlled by NH2-MIL-88 B (Fe, Ni) nanozymes was developed to visually detect tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) residues quantitatively, as well as accurately distinguish the four most widely used tetracycline analogs (tetracycline (TC), chrycline (CTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and doxycycline (DC)). Colorless substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) may be oxidized to blue oxidized TMB by the Fe Fenton reaction, which was catalyzed by the NH2-MIL-88 B (Fe, Ni) nanozyme with POD-like activity. The colorimetric detection system allows TCs to interact with NH2-MIL-88 B (Fe, Ni). This inhibits the production of ·OH, weakens the oxidation process of TMB, and ultimately lightens the blue color in the system by blocking the electron transfer between NH2-MIL-88 B (Fe, Ni) and H2O2. Furthermore, TCs can interact with NH2-MIL-88 B (Fe, Ni) as a result of the internal filtering effect, which causes the fluorescence intensity to decrease as TCs concentration increases. Additionally, a portable instrument that combines a smartphone sensing platform with colorimetric and fluorescent signals was created for the quick, visual quantitative detection of TCs. The colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode nano platform enables color change, with detection limits (LODs) of 0.182 μM and 0.0668 μM for the spectrometer and smartphone sensor, respectively, based on the inhibition of fluorescence and enzyme-like activities by TCs. Overall, the colorimetric and fluorescence dual-mode sensor has good stability, high specificity, and an efficient way to eliminate false-positive issues associated with a single detection mode.

Abstract
The excessive use of tetracycline poses a threat to human health, making it essential to monitor and regulate its usage. While whole-cell biosensors offer a simple and cost-effective method, their utility is constrained by limitations in sensitivity, portability, and robustness, hindering real-time measurements within complex environmental contexts. In this study, a ratiometric i/cTetR synthetic biosensing test strip with an engineered modified dual-fluorescence reporting was developed for detecting Tet antibiotics in water and food. First, the standardized unidirectional promoter PtetR by tailoring and screening TetR transcription factor binding sites and verified by molecular docking, shortening the detection time. Secondly, decoupling the sensing and reporting modules enhances the biosensor's performance, eliminating genetic background leakage and tripling the output signal. Thirdly, a ratiometric dual fluorescence signal i/cTetR biosensing test strip was designed. Under the light box LED/UV light source, the dual signal output method significantly reduced false negative results and enhanced the anti-interference capability of the biosensor. The i/cTetR strips can detect Tet in tap water (5-1280 μg/mL) and milk (50-3200 μg/kg) within 45 min in high volume on-site without separation and purification. This study provides a standardized and universal sensing method for the field detection of antibiotic contaminants.

Abstract
Microplastics and antibiotics not only pollute aquatic environments and threaten human health, but are also tricky to remove. Microplastics adsorb antibiotics, and, before being released into the natural environment, most microplastics pass through some wastewater treatment and/or disinfection (such as chlorination) facilities. It is therefore necessary to understand how these treatment processes may affect or alter microplastics' properties, particularly their ability to adsorb antibiotics, and whether or not the two, when bound together, may present exacerbated harm to the environment. This study used both laboratory tests and molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the mechanism through which chlorinated microplastics (specifically polystyrene) adsorb the antibiotic tetracycline, and showed that chlorination gave the polystyrene a larger interaction area (> 21%) and more free energy (> 14%) to adsorb tetracycline. Van der Waals (vdW) forces played a more dominant role than electrostatics in facilitating tetracycline's adsorption. Moreover, a density functional theory analysis demonstrated that the vdW potentials of the microplastics decreased as more and more hydrogen atoms became replaced by chlorine, suggesting a facilitation of the adsorption of polycyclic antibiotic molecules. The experimental results confirmed the simulation's prediction that a higher degree of chlorination significantly increases the polystyrene's adsorption capacity, whereas pH and salinity had almost no effect on the adsorption. This study demonstrates that disinfection elevates the risk of antibiotics adhering to and accumulating on the surface of microplastics.

Abstract
Worldwide abuse of tetracycline (TC) seriously threatens environmental safety and human health. Metal-TC complexes formed by residual TC in the environment can also contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, monitoring of TC residues is still required. Here, we report novel aggregation-induced emission carbon dots (AIE-Cdots) as nanoaggregate probes for the rapid and selective detection of TC residue. Riboflavin precursors with rotational functional groups led to the development of AIE-Cdots. The aggregation of AIE-Cdots was induced selectively for Al3+, amplifying the fluorescence signals owing to the restricted rotation of the side chains on the AIE-Cdot surface. The fluorescence signal of such Al3+-mediated nanoaggregates (Al3+-NAs) was further triggered by the structural fixation of TC at the Al3+ active sites, suggesting the formation of TC-coordinated Al3+-NAs. A linear correlation was observed in the TC concentration range of 0-10 μM with a detection limit of 42 nM. In addition, the strong Al3+ binding affinity of AIE-Cdots produced similar NAs and enhanced fluorescence signals in Al3+-TC mixtures. These AIE-Cdots-based nanoplatforms have a rapid response, good selectivity, and reliable accuracy for detecting TC or aluminum complexes, meeting the requirements for hazardous substance monitoring and removal in environmental applications.

Abstract
Antibiotic responses in bacteria are highly dynamic and heterogeneous, with sudden exposure of bacterial colonies to high drug doses resulting in the coexistence of recovered and arrested cells. The dynamics of the response is determined by regulatory circuits controlling the expression of resistance genes, which are in turn modulated by the drug's action on cell growth and metabolism. Despite advances in understanding gene regulation at the molecular level, we still lack a framework to describe how feedback mechanisms resulting from the interdependence between expression of resistance and cell metabolism can amplify naturally occurring noise and create heterogeneity at the population level. To understand how this interplay affects cell survival upon exposure, we constructed a mathematical model of the dynamics of antibiotic responses that links metabolism and regulation of gene expression, based on the tetracycline resistancetetoperon inE. coli. We use this model to interpret measurements of growth and expression of resistance in microfluidic experiments, both in single cells and in biofilms. We also implemented a stochastic model of the drug response, to show that exposure to high drug levels results in large variations of recovery times and heterogeneity at the population level. We show that stochasticity is important to determine how nutrient quality affects cell survival during exposure to high drug concentrations. A quantitative description of how microbes respond to antibiotics in dynamical environments is crucial to understand population-level behaviors such as biofilms and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Excessive use of tetracycline antibiotics in poultry farming results in significant concentrations of these drugs and tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs) in chicken manure, impacting both environmental and human health. Our research represents the first investigation into the removal dynamics of chlortetracycline (CTC) and TRGs in different layers of an ex situ fermentation system (EFS) for chicken waste treatment. By pinpointing and analyzing dominant TRGs-harboring bacteria and their interactions with environmental variables, we've closed an existing knowledge gap. Findings revealed that CTC's degradation half-lives spanned 3.3-5.8 days across different EFS layers, and TRG removal efficiency ranged between 86.82% and 99.52%. Network analysis highlighted Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria's essential roles in TRGs elimination, whereas Chloroflexi broadened the potential TRG hosts in the lower layer. Physical and chemical conditions within the EFS influenced microbial community diversity, subsequently impacting TRGs and integrons. Importantly, our study reports that the middle EFS layer exhibited superior performance in eliminating CTC and key TRGs (tetW, tetG, and tetX) as well as intI2. Our work transcends immediate health and environmental remediation by offering insights that encourage sustainable agriculture practices.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a significant threat to human health worldwide. One important source of antimicrobial-resistant infections in humans is exposure to animals or animal products. In a phased survey, we investigated AMR in 300 Escherichia coli isolates and 300 enterococci (Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium) isolates each from the carcasses of poultry, pigs, very young calves, and dairy cattle (food animals); all Salmonella isolates from poultry, very young calves, and dairy cattle; and 300 Campylobacter (Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli) isolates from poultry. The highest resistance levels in E. coli were found for sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and streptomycin, for all food animals. Cefotaxime-resistant E. coli were not found and low resistance to ciprofloxacin, colistin, and gentamicin was observed. The majority of enterococci isolates from all food animals were bacitracin-resistant. Erythromycin- and/or tetracycline-resistant enterococci isolates were found in varying proportions from all food animals. Ampicillin- or vancomycin-resistant enterococci isolates were not identified, and ciprofloxacin-resistant E. faecalis were not found. Salmonella isolates were only recovered from very young calves and all eight isolates were susceptible to all tested antimicrobials. Most Campylobacter isolates were susceptible to all tested antimicrobials, although 16.6% of C. jejuni were resistant to quinolones and tetracycline. Results suggest that AMR in E. coli, enterococci, Salmonella, and Campylobacter isolates from food animals in New Zealand is low, and currently, AMR in food animals poses a limited public health risk. Despite the low prevalence of AMR in this survey, ongoing monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility in bacteria from food animals is recommended, to ensure timely detection of AMR with potential impacts on animal and human health.

Abstract
The removal of tetracycline from the sewage plant effluents through advanced treatment methods is key to controlling tetracycline levels in the water environment. In this study, modified quartz sands (QS) were used in a biological sand filter to remove tetracycline. The modified QS, with different surface characteristics, were prepared using glass etching technology combined with subsequent chemical modification methods, including hydroxylation treatment, metal ion modification, and amino modification. The adsorption efficiency of hydroxylated QS was higher than that of metal ion modified and amino modified QS, with adsorption efficiencies of 20.4331 mg/kg, 12.8736 mg/kg, and 10.1737 mg/kg, respectively. Results indicated that QS primarily reduce tetracycline through adsorption. Adsorption on ordinary QS fit the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, while adsorption on other modified QS and biofilm-coated QS fit the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. Biodegradation was identified as another mechanism for tetracycline reduction, which fit the zero-order kinetic model. Pseudomonas alcaligenes and unclassified Pseudomonas accounted for 96.6% of the total tetracycline-degrading bacteria. This study elucidates the effectiveness and mechanisms of five types of QS in treating tetracycline from sewage plant effluents. It provides a novel method for tetracycline reduction in real-world wastewater scenarios.

Abstract
Microbial biotransformation is a recommended and reliable method in face of formidable tetracycline (TC) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Herein, comprehensive characteristics of a newfound strain and its molecular mechanism in process of TC bioremediation were involved in this study. Specifically, Serratia marcescens MSM2304 isolated from pig manure sludge grew well in presence of TC and achieved optimal removal efficiency of 61% under conditions of initial TC concentration of 10 mg/L, pH of 7.0, cell inoculation amount of 5%, and tryptone of 10 g/L as additional carbon. The pathways of biotransformation include EPS biosorption, cell surface biosorption and biodegradation, which enzymatic processes of biodegradation were occurred through TC adsorbed by biofilms was firstly broken down by extracellular enzymes and part of TC migrated towards biofilm interior and degraded by intracellular enzymes. Wherein extracellular polysaccharides in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from biofilm of strain MSM2304 mainly performed extracellular adsorption, and changes in position and intensity of CO, =CH and C-O-C/C-O of EPS possible further implied TC adsorption by it. Biodegradation accounting for 79.07% played a key role in TC biotransformation and could be fitted well by first-order model that manifesting rapid and thorough removal. Potential biodegradation pathway including demethylation, dihydroxylation, oxygenation, and ring opening possibly involved in TC disposal process of MSM2304, TC-degrading metabolites exhibited lower toxicity to indicator bacteria relative to parent TC. Whole genome sequencing as underlying molecular evidence revealed that TC resistance genes, dehydrogenases-encoding genes, monooxygenase-encoding genes, and methyltransferase-encoding genes of strain MSM2304 were positively related to TC biodegradation. Collectively, these results favored a theoretical evaluation for Serratia marcescens MSM2304 as a promising TC-control agent in environmental bioremediation processes.

Abstract
We explored a novel preparation method for MOF-on-MOF heterostructured material (Zn-BTEC@ZIF-8). This prepared heterostructured material acts as a container, capable of adsorbing tetracycline hydrochloride molecules into its backbone through hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. This phenomenon triggers an aggregation induced emission (AIE) effect, leading to the formation of luminescent bodies. The coordination between histamine and MOF was found to collapse the originally stabilized MOF-on-MOF structure. This collapse causes the splitting of the initially stabilized MOF-on-MOF structure from the aggregated state into fragments, resulting in the quenching of fluorescence in the fluorophore. Remarkably, the fluorescence quenching efficiency of this composite surpasses that of single-layer metal-organic framework (MOF) zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) or zinc-based MOF of pyromellitic acid (Zn-BTEC), enabling more sensitive detection of histamine. In this investigation, we constructed a label-free fluorescent sensor specifically designed for the detection of histamine, capitalizing on the AIE effect inherent in MOF-on-MOF architecture and the presence of tetracycline hydrochloride (Tet). The sensor demonstrates a rapid, straightforward, and stable response, allowing for histamine detection within 20 min. Notably, the sensor covers a detection range of 2-400 mg L-1, achieving a low detection limit of 1.458 mg L-1 The practical application of this sensor for quantitative detection of histamine in river water and various fish species exhibited robust performance, ensuring reliability and accuracy in real samples. Its potential application in food safety and environmental monitoring is evident, making it a valuable tool for addressing histamine-related challenges in these domains.

Abstract
Environmental photocatalysis is a promising technology for treating antibiotics in wastewater. In this study, a supercritical carbonization method was developed to synthesize a single-atom photocatalyst with a high loading of Ni (above 5 wt.%) anchored on a carbon-nitrogen-silicate substrate for the efficient photodegradation of a ubiquitous environmental contaminant of tetracycline (TC). The photocatalyst was prepared from an easily obtained metal-biopolymer-inorganic supramolecular hydrogel, followed by supercritical drying and carbonization treatment. The low-temperature (300°C) supercritical ethanol treatment prevents the excessive structural degradation of hydrogel and greatly reduces the metal clustering and aggregation, which contributed to the high Ni loading. Atomic characterizations confirmed that Ni was present at isolated sites and stabilized by Ni-N and Ni-O bonds in a Ni-(N/O)6C/SiC configuration. A 5% Ni-C-Si catalyst, which performed the best among the studied catalysts, exhibited a wide visible light response with a narrow bandgap of 1.45 eV that could efficiently and repeatedly catalyze the oxidation of TC with a conversion rate of almost 100% within 40 min. The reactive species trapping experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests demonstrated that the h+, and ·O2- were mainly responsible for TC degradation. The TC degradation mechanism and possible reaction pathways were provided also. Overall, this study proposed a novel strategy to synthesize a high metal loading single-atom photocatalyst that can efficiently remove TC with high concentrations, and this strategy might be extended for synthesis of other carbon-based single-atom catalysts with valuable properties.

Abstract
It is important to investigate whether combining two modification strategies has a synergistic effect on the activity of photocatalysts. In this manuscript, Fe-doped BiOBr/Bi2WO6 heterojunctions were synthesized by a one-pot solvothermal method, and excellent photocatalytic performance was obtained for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in water without the addition of surfactant. Combining experiments and characterization, the synergistic effect between Fe ion doping and the BiOBr/Bi2WO6 heterojunction was elucidated. The Fe/BiOBr/Bi2WO6 composite photocatalyst had a beneficial void structure, enhanced visible light response, and could inhibit the recombination of photogenerated support well, which improved the photocatalytic activity. The presented experiments demonstrate that Fe/BiOBr/Bi2WO6 removes 97% of TCH from aqueous solution, while pure BiOBr and Bi2WO6 only remove 56% and 65% of TCH, respectively. Finally, the separation and transfer mechanisms of photoexcited carriers were determined in conjunction with the experimental results. This study provides a new direction for the design of efficient photocatalysts through the use of a dual co-modification strategy.

Abstract
The pollution of tetracycline (TC) had attracted more and more attention due to its unprecedented use and potential hazards. The S-scheme BiOI/BiOIO3 p-n heterojunction was successfully fabricated by in-situ solvothermal treatment of BiOIO3, and was used for the removal of TC from aqueous solutions. The results demonstrated that the construction of S-scheme p-n heterojunction could significantly improve the removal of TC by photocatalytic adsorption/degradation synergism. The removal rate of TC was significantly enhanced after solvothermal modification. The three main reasons for the enhanced removal efficiency were as follows: first, the light absorption range of the BiOIO3 was enhanced by solvothermal treatment; secondly, the construction of the heterojunction was beneficial to the valid separation and migration of the photo-generated carriers; finally, the adsorption of TC enhanced the speed of TC reaching the semiconductor interface and reacting with active species. Trapping tests were conducted to reveal that •O2- and 1O2 are the main reactive species for TC degradation. The nine degradation products were identified by the high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), and the three reaction pathways were deduced. A possible S-scheme p-n heterojunction photocatalytic mechanism was presented on the basis of band structures and active species capturing experiment.

Abstract
This study aimed to understand the antibiotic resistance prevalence among Enterococcus spp. from raw and treated sewage in Bergen city, Norway. In total, 517 Enterococcus spp. isolates were obtained from raw and treated sewage from five sewage treatment plants (STPs) over three sampling occasions, with Enterococcus faecium as the most prevalent (n = 492) species. E. faecium strains (n = 307) obtained from the influent samples, showed the highest resistance against quinupristin/dalfopristin (67.8%). We observed reduced susceptibility to erythromycin (30.6%) and tetracycline (6.2%) in these strains. E. faecium strains (n = 185) obtained from the effluent samples showed highest resistance against quinupristin/dalfopristin (68.1%) and reduced susceptibility to erythromycin (24.9%) and tetracycline (8.6%). We did not detect resistance against last-resort antibiotics, such as linezolid, vancomycin, and tigecycline in any of the strains. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. faecium strains were detected in both influent (2.3%) and effluent (2.2%) samples. Whole genome sequencing of the Enterococcus spp. strains (n = 25) showed the presence of several antibiotic resistance genes, conferring resistance against aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, and macrolides, as well as several virulence genes and plasmid replicons. Two sequenced MDR strains from the effluents belonged to the hospital-associated clonal complex 17 and carried multiple virulence genes. Our study demonstrates that clinically relevant MDR Enterococcus spp. strains are entering the marine environment through treated sewage.

Abstract
Zoogloea sp. MFQ7 achieved excellent denitrification of 91.71% at ferrous to manganous ratio (Fe/Mn) of 3:7, pH of 6.5, nitrate concentration of 25 mg L-1 and carbon to nitrogen ratio of 1.5. As the Fe/Mn ratio increasd, the efficiency of nitrate removal gradually decreased, indicating that strain MFQ7 had a higher affinity for Mn2+ than Fe2+. In situ generated biogenic Fe-Mn oxides (BFMO) contained many iron-manganese oxides (MnO2, Mn3O4, FeO(OH), Fe2O3, and Fe3O4) as well as reactive functional groups, which play an significant part in tetracycline (TC) and cadmium (Cd2+) adsorption. The adsorption of TC and Cd2+ by BFMO can better fit the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models. In addition, multiple characterization results of before and after adsorption indicated that the removal mechanism of BFMO on TC and Cd2+ was probably surface complexation adsorption and redox reactions.

Abstract
An intelligent fluorescent nanoprobe (lignite-CDs-Eu) was constructed by an effective and facile method based on lignite-derived carbon dots (CDs) and lanthanide europium ions (Eu3+), which exhibited high sensitivity, low detection limit (13.35 nM) and visual color variation (from blue to red) under ultraviolet light towards tetracycline (TC) detection. Significantly, portable and economical sensors were developed using lignite-CDs-Eu immobilized fiber material of filter paper and wearable glove with the aid of color extracting and image processing application (APP) in the smartphone. Facile, fast and real-time visual detection of TC in food samples was realized. Moreover, logic gate circuit was also designed to achieve intelligent and semi-quantitative inspection of TC. To some extent, this study extended the cross-application of intelligent computer software in food analytical science, and provided a certain reference for the development of small portable detection sensors which were suitable for convenience and non-professional use in daily life.

Abstract
In this work, a novel two-dimensional semiconducting metal covalent organic framework (CuTAPc-TFPP-COF) was synthesized and used as biosensing platform to construct aptasensor for trace detection of tetracycline (TC). The CuTAPc-TFPP-COF integrates the highly conjugated structure, large specific surface area, high porosity, abundant nitrogen functional groups, excellent electrochemical activity, and strong bioaffinity for aptamers, providing abundant active sites to effectively anchor aptamer strands. As a result, the CuTAPc-TFPP-COF-based aptasensor shows high sensitivity for detecting TC via specific recognition between aptamer and TC to form Apt-TC complex. An ultralow detection limit of 59.6 fM is deduced from the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy within a wide linear range of 0.1-100000 pM for TC. The CuTAPc-TFPP-COF-based aptasensor also exhibits good selectivity, reproducibility, stability, regenerability, and excellent applicability for real river water, milk, and pork samples. Therefore, the CuTAPc-TFPP-COF-based aptasensor will be promising for detecting trace harmful antibiotics residues in environmental water and food samples.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great prospects in wastewater remediation. However, the easy aggregation, difficult separation and inferior reusability greatly limit their large-scale application. Herein, we proposed a facile, green and low-cost strategy to construct robust and stable MOF-based hydrogel beads (Fe-BTC-HBs) in a gram scale, and employed them to remove antibiotics from wastewater. As a result, the Fe-BTC-HBs demonstrated outstanding adsorption capacity for both ofloxacin (OFL) and tetracycline (TC) (281.17 mg/g for OFL and 223.60 mg/g for TC) under a near-neutral environment. The main adsorption mechanisms of OFL and TC were hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interaction. Owing to its macroscopic granule and stable structure, Fe-BTC-HBs can be separated rapidly from wastewater after capturing antibiotics, and more than 85% adsorption capacity still remained after six cycles, while the powdered Fe-BTC only showed less than 6% recovery efficiency with massive weight loss (around 92%). In real industrial effluent, the adsorption performance of Fe-BTC-HBs toward two antibiotics exhibited negligible decreases (2.9% for OFL and 2.2% for TC) compared with that in corresponding solutions. Furthermore, Fe-BTC-HBs also had appealing economic and environmental benefit. Overall, the macro-manufactured MOF beads have the promising potential for the large-scale wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The poor conductivity, poor stability, and agglomeration of iron-based metal organic framework MIL-88A(Fe) limit its application as persulfate (PS) activator in water purification. Herein, MXene-supported MIL-88A(Fe) composites (M88A/MX) were synthesized to enhance its adsorption and catalytic capability for tetracycline (TC) removal. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize prepared materials, confirming the successful attachment of MIL-88A(Fe) to the surface of MXene. M88A/MX-0.2 composites, prepared with 0.2 g MXene addition, exhibit optimal degradation efficiency, reaching 98% under conditions of 0.2 g/L M88A/MX-0.2, 1.0 mM PS, 20 ppm TC, and pH 5. The degradation rate constants of M88A/MX-0.2 were 0.03217 min-1, which was much higher than that of MIL-88A(Fe) (0.00159 min-1) and MXene (0.00626 min-1). The removal effects of reaction parameters, such as dosage of M88A/MX-0.2 and PS; initial solution pH; and the presence of the common co-existing constituents (humic acid and the inorganic anions) were investigated in detail. Additionally, the reuse of M88A/MX-0.2 showed that the composites had good cycling stability by recurrent experiments. The results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching experiments indicated that ·OH, ·SO4-, and ·O2- were involved in the M88A/MX-0.2/PS system where persulfate oxidation process was activated with prepared M88A/MX-0.2. In addition, the intermediates of photocatalytic degradation were determined by HPLC-MS, and the possible degradation pathways of the target molecules were inferred. This study offered a new avenue for sulfate-based degradation of Fe-based metal organic framework.

Abstract
An innovative task was undertaken to convert ubiquitous and toxic electronic waste, waste toner powder (WTP), into novel adsorbents. Alkaline modification with KOH, NaOH, and NH4OH was employed for the first time to synthesize a series of surface-modified WTP with enhanced dispersibility and adsorption capacity. XRD, XRF, FTIR, and BET analyses confirmed that the prepared KOH-WTP, NaOH-WTP, and NH4OH-WTP were oxygen-functionalized self-doped iron oxide-graphite nanocomposites. The prepared adsorbents were used to remove methylene blue and tetracycline from aqueous solutions. KOH-WTP (0.1 g/100 mL) adsorbed 80% of 10 mg/L methylene blue within 1 h, while 0.1 g/100 mL NH4OH-WTP removed 72% of 10 mg/L tetracycline in 3 h. Exploring surface chemistry by altering solution pH and temperature suggested that hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, π-π electron stacking, and pore filling were plausible adsorption mechanisms. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a diminishing adsorbents porosity after adsorption proving the filling of pores by the adsorbates. KOH-WTP and NH4OH-WTP removed 77% and 61% of methylene blue and tetracycline respectively in the fourth reuse. The adsorption data of methylene blue and tetracycline fitted the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities of KOH-WTP and NH4OH-WTP for methylene blue and tetracycline were 59 mg/g and 43 mg/g respectively. The prepared adsorbents were also compared with other adsorbents to assess their performance. The transformation of waste toner powder into magnetically separable oxygen-functionalized WTP with outstanding recyclability and adsorption capacity showcases a significant advancement in sustainable wastewater treatment. This further aligns with the principles of the circular economy through the utilization of toxic e-waste in value-added applications. Additionally, magnetic separation of surface-modified WTP post-treatment can curtail filtration and centrifugation expenses and adsorbent loss during wastewater treatment.

Abstract
On-line quantitation of tetracycline (TC) is significant to ensure environmental health and food security. Hence, a novel smartphone-integrated ratiometric sensing platform for on-line quantitative analysis of TC was designed. A CitNa-functionalized g-C3N4/Eu3+ (g-C3N4/CitNa/Eu) composites with blue and red dual-emissive feature were fabricated as dual indicators for shielding background interference, enhancing anti-interference capability. The fluorescent response (F620/F450) ratio and TC concentration demonstrated good linear relationship ranged from 0.0 to 100.0 μM with a detection limit of 1.96 nM. Furthermore, the combination of g-C3N4/CitNa/Eu and polyacrylonitrile polymers forming electrospun film was achieved via electrospinning method. Smartphone-integrated ratiometric sensing platform was developed based on the fluorescent color of electrospun film from blue to light red with TC. This solid sensing platform achieved excellent sensitivity with a detection limit of 7.42 nM. Combining the solid ratiometric fluorescent film with smartphone reader provides a potential way for on-line quantitation of TC in food and other fields.

Abstract
The removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) using sulfate anion radical (SO4•-)-based advanced oxidation processes has gained considerable attention recently. However, immense uncertainties persist in technology transfer. Particularly, the impact of dichlorine radical (Cl2•-) generation during SO4•--mediated disinfection on ARB/ARGs removal remains unclear, despite the Cl2•- concentration reaching levels notably higher than those of SO4•- in certain SO4•--based procedures applied to secondary effluents, hospital wastewaters, and marine waters. The experimental results of this study reveal a detrimental effect on the disinfection efficiency of tetracycline-resistant Escherichia coli (Tc-ARB) during SO4•--mediated treatment owing to Cl2•- generation. Through a comparative investigation of the distinct inactivation mechanisms of Tc-ARB in the Cl2•-- and SO4•--mediated disinfection processes, encompassing various perspectives, we confirm that Cl2•- is less effective in inducing cellular structural damage, perturbing cellular metabolic activity, disrupting antioxidant enzyme system, damaging genetic material, and inducing the viable but nonculturable state. Consequently, this diminishes the disinfection efficiency of SO4•--mediated treatment owing to Cl2•- generation. Importantly, the results indicate that Cl2•- generation increases the potential risk associated with the dark reactivation of Tc-ARB and the vertical gene transfer process of tetracycline-resistant genes following SO4•--mediated disinfection. This study underscores the undesired role of Cl2•- for ARB/ARGs removal during the SO4•--mediated disinfection process.

Abstract
In this study, oxidized single-walled carbon nanohorns (oxSWCNHs) were prepared using nitric acid oxidation and subsequently combined with 3'6-carboxyfluorescein through charge transfer to prepare fluorescent probes. These oxSWCNHs were used to quench fluorogen signals at short distances and dissociate ssDNA using cryonase enzymes. We established a method for rapidly detecting tetracycline (TC) in complex samples based on the amplification of cryonase enzyme signals. After optimizing the experimental conditions, our method showed a detection limit of 5.05 ng/mL, with good specificity. This method was used to determine the TC content in complex samples, yielding a recovery rate of 90.0-103.3%. This result validated the efficacy of our method in detecting TC content within complex samples.

Abstract
Dental caries are mainly occur owing to the presence and activity of bacterial agents. The present study was done to assess the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of bacterial strains isolated from the cases of dental caries. Fifty patients with approved dental carries were included in the study. Sampling from the site of dental caries was done using the sterile swab. Swabs were transferred to laboratory and subjected to microbial culture. Species identification of bacteria was done using biochemical test. Bacterial isolates were subjected to disk diffusion to assess their antimicrobial resistance. S. aureus (40%) harboured the highest rate of contamination, while S. oralis (16%) and E. aerogenes (10%) harbored the lowest. S. aureus and S. mutans (6%) harbored the highest distribution amongst the cases of mix infections, while S. aureus and S. oralis (2%) harbnored the lowest. S. aureus strains harbored the highest rate of resistance toward tetracycline (90%), penicillin (75%), ampicillin (75%), amoxicillin (60%), and erythromycin (60%). E. coli strains harbored the highest rate of resistance toward tetracycline (90%), gentamicin (80%), ampicillin (70%), and erythromycin (70%). S. mutans strains harbored the highest rate of resistance toward tetracycline (93.33%), ampicillin (86.66%), penicillin (80%), amoxicillin (80%), and erythromycin (80%). S. oralis strains harbored the highest rate of resistance toward tetracycline (100%), ampicillin (75%), penicillin (62.50%), and amoxicillin (62.50%). E. aerogenes strains harbored the highest rate of resistance toward tetracycline (80%), gentamicin (80%), and ampicillin (80%). S. aureus bacteria isolated from dental caries harbored the highest rate of MDR. Distribution of resistance against more than 3 antimicrobial agents amongst the S. aureus, E. coli, S. mutans, S. oralis, and E. aerogenes bacteria isolated from the cases of dental caries was 90%, 60%, 80%, 62.50%, and 80%, respectively. Application of disk diffuin can help practitioners to reduce the rate of resistance in bacteria responsible for dental caries.

Abstract
The presence of antimicrobials in water has grown into a major global health concern. This study thus focused on the presence, ecological implications, and potential health risks associated with nine antimicrobials: five antibiotics (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and tetracycline) and four parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben) in surface water and groundwater samples collected from three Southwestern States in Nigeria (Osun, Oyo, and Lagos States). These antimicrobials were widely detected across the three States with ciprofloxacin being the most dominant having maximum average concentrations of 189 μg L-1 and 319 μg L-1 in surface water and groundwater respectively. The range of average concentrations of antibiotics in surface water are 47.3-235 μg L-1 (Osun), 27.9-166 μg L-1 (Oyo) and 52.1-159 μg L-1 (Lagos). For groundwater, it is 35.3-180 μg L-1 (Osun), 26.5-181 μg L-1 (Oyo) and 32.3-319 μg L-1 (Lagos). The average concentrations of all parabens were 32.4-153 μg L-1, 53.4-80.1 μg L-1, and 83.2-132 μg L-1 for surface water and 46.7-55.7 μg L-1, 53-117 μg L-1, and 62.4-118 μg L-1 for groundwater in Osun, Oyo, and Lagos States respectively. Methylparaben was most frequently detected paraben with average concentrations of 153 μg L-1 and 117 μg L-1 in surface water and groundwater respectively. The measured environmental concentrations of these antimicrobials pose a significant ecological risk while those of ciprofloxacin and ampicillin pose a high health risk to all population groups studied. The average concentrations of antibiotics investigated in this study exceeded their threshold values for Predicted No-Effect Concentrations (PNEC) associated with resistance selection, except for tetracycline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a threat to public health as strains have developed resistance to antimicrobials available for the treatment of gonorrhea. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) can detect and predict antimicrobial resistance to enhance the control and prevention of gonorrhea. Data on the molecular epidemiology of N. gonorrhoeae is sparse in Zambia. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of N. gonorrhoeae isolated from patients attending sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics in Lusaka, Zambia. METHODS A cross-sectional study that sequenced 38 N. gonorrhoeae isolated from 122 patients with gonorrhea from 2019 to 2020 was conducted. The AMR profiles were determined by the E-test, and the DNA was extracted using the NucliSens easyMaG magnetic device. Whole genome sequencing was performed on the Illumina NextSeq550 platform. The Bacterial analysis pipeline (BAP) that is readily available at: https://cge.cbs.dtu.dk/services/CGEpipeline-1.1 was used for the identification of the species, assembling the genome, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), detection of plasmids and AMR genes. Phylogeny by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was determined with the CCphylo dataset. RESULTS The most frequent STs with 18.4% of isolates each were ST7363, ST1921 and ST1582, followed by ST1583 (13%), novel ST17026 (7.9%), ST1588 (7.9%), ST1596 (5.3%), ST11181 (5.3%), ST11750 (2.6/%) and ST11241 (2.6%) among the 38 genotyped isolates. The blaTeM-1B and tetM (55%) was the most prevalent combination of AMR genes, followed by blaTeM-1B (18.4%), tetM (15.8%), and the combination of blaTeM-1B, ermT, and tetL was 2.6% of the isolates. The AMR phenotypes were predicted in ciprofloxacin, penicillin, tetracycline, azithromycin, and cefixime. The combination of mutations 23.7% was gryA (S91F), parC (E91G), ponA (L421) and rpsJ (V57M), followed by 18.4% in gyrA (S91F), ponA (L421P), rpsJ (V57M), and 18.4% in gyrA (D95G, S91F), ponA (L421P), and rpsJ (V57M). The combinations in gyrA (D95G, S91F) and rpsJ (V57M), and gyrA (D95G, S91F), parC (E91F), ponA (L421P) and rpsJ (V57M) were 13.2% each of the isolates. Plasmid TEM-1 (84.2%), tetM (15.8%), and gonococcal genetic island (GGI) was detected in all isolates. CONCLUSION This study revealed remarkable heterogeneity of N. gonorrhoeae with blaTEM-1, tetM, ponA, gyrA, and parC genes associated with high resistance to penicillin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin demanding revision of the standard treatment guidelines and improved antimicrobial stewardship in Zambia.
